File::Find

I've decided to hack out a little script to publish my Vivtek.com site to a directory amenable for Githubbing (a dry run for Heckle development), and in the course of that, ran across File::Find in my ongoing attempt to find a decent paradigm for directory walking in Perl.

File::Find isn't it.

Oh, I'll grant you that it works essentially the same as Unix find, and it's part of the standard distribution, but it's still opaque.  I need a presentation that's not opaque.  There are lots of different directory walkers out there, and I still have a hard time following the code.

So, lame as this may be, directory walking is still an open topic for me.  It will be good to get back to active Decl development.
